If you're an advanced security professional, then you know that the battle to protect online privacy continues to rage on. Security chat rooms, especially, are resounding with calls for vendors to take more responsibility to release products that are more secure. In fact, with all the information and code that is passed on a daily basis, it's a fight that may never end. Fortunately, there are a number of open source security tools that give you a leg up in the battle.
Often a security tool does exactly what you want, right out of the box. More frequently, you need to customize the tool to fit the needs of your network structure. Network Security Tools shows experienced administrators how to modify, customize, and extend popular open source security tools such as Nikto, Ettercap, and Nessus.
This concise, high-end guide discusses the common customizations and extensions for these tools, then shows you how to write even more specialized attack and penetration reviews that are suited to your unique network environment. It also explains how tools like port scanners, packet injectors, network sniffers, and web assessment tools function.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Writing your own network sniffers and packet injection tools
- Writing plugins for Nessus, Ettercap, and Nikto
- Developing exploits for Metasploit
- Code analysis for web applications
- Writing kernel modules for security applications, and understanding rootkits
While many books on security are either tediously academic or overly sensational,
Network Security Tools takes an even-handed and accessible approach that will let you quickly review the problem and implement new, practical solutions--without reinventing the wheel. In an age when security is critical,
Network Security Tools is the resource you want at your side when locking down your network.

Free Network Security Tools: Writing, Hacking, and Modifying Security Tools
In recent years the proliferation of open source network security tools has been a boon to all aspects of the IT industry. This era was given more significance with the release of the tool SATAN, which easily enabled administrators to scan their networks for vulnerabilities. Since then, many of the most favored tools in the infosec industry are open source. This means that users can extend them as they see fit, but often this is a difficult task. Dhanjani and Clarke's book Network Security Tools is there to assist you in modifying existing tools and even writing your own.
The book is divided into two main sections, modifying several popular tools like Nessus and Metasploit, and writing new tools for the Linux kernel and the network using libpcap and libnet. Written for the intermediate-level user, NST gets right to it in Chapter 1, diving right into writing plug-ins for Nessus. Because vulnerabilities appear every day and may differ on the network you're examining, you may have to write your own plug-in that someone else hasn't. Or you may want the fame and notoriety of writing these plug-ins quickly and accurately. Whatever your motivation, you'll learn how to use NASL to write your extension. While the license has recently changed for Nessus, the version that this book targets, 2.x, will always be GPL and available for you to use.
The existing tools covered in the book - Nessus, Ethereal, Ettercap, Metasploit, Nikto, Hydra. and PMD - are designed to be extended. They have a framework and often a rich API (or, in the case of Nessus, their own language) to allow you to write those extensions. Each of the chapters on these frameworks covers some of the same basic format, namely an overview of the tools, the framework, and then an example plug-in or extension.
